How to Share Visual Checklists if Your Service Pro Doesn't Have a Smartphone

Properly Team

Practical solutions for sharing visual cleaning checklists with service providers who lack smartphones, including affordable tablet recommendations.

Problem & Solution

Managing your turnover using visual checklists is the most important part of becoming a stress-free remote Superhost. But it takes two to tango!

Recommended Fix: Provide an affordable tablet for onsite use. The Amazon Fire tablet at approximately $50 works effectively with the Properly app. Avoid purchasing older iRulu Android tablets running Android 4.2, as these lack compatibility.

How to Invite Service Providers

Service professionals can only create accounts through host invitations. The process involves:

  1. Navigate to the Contacts tab and select the plus icon to add a new contact
  2. Opt to invite the contact simultaneously
  3. The service pro receives a download link via text or email
  4. They click the link, accept the invitation, and create their account on the webpage
  5. They can then log in using their credentials

Pre-installing the app on the tablet before the service provider’s arrival streamlines the process.

Benefits for Service Professionals
